Personal Leadership is Required to Address Today’s Crises

As Dr. King counseled, we must seek more than immediate, feel-good" fixes. As history shows, improving the world is a multi-generational project by countless individuals, so despite the fact that we often feel impatient to fix things once and for all, we cannot reasonably expect to end this week or next with a plan to last forever more.

Today, however, I suggest that we take this opportunity to make sure that we are examining the situation properly, understanding that, similar to how only an individual can work to change his own thoughts and actions, the individual is the most accurate and productive unit with which to evaluate all human action.
